Harold,

What about PCYC - I think Peter was a fan of this (are you still, especially with reduced price)?

I'm still long and holding. My speculation on the price decline:

1. Most of the stocks that presented at ASCO have ended up lower than before the conference. When there was no follow-through from the conference, people dumped the stocks.

2. The remainder of the Phase II data wasn't quite as dramatic as the initial data, with some possible side-effects and two patients dying before evaluation. (The subject population had a life expectancy of around 3 months, so some deaths aren't unexpected). The overall data is still very good; it just isn't quite as clean a story.

I still believe the stock is going to do very nicely over the next year or two. I still think it's a buy, assuming you are already loaded to the max with SEPR, of course <G>.

Peter
